I am learning more about observability with OpenTelemetry and in Kubernetes clusters in particular. Distributing tracing with connected traces between multiple applications seems like a useful concept for applications made from several services. Apparently there are even some technologies allowing traceparent/tracestate propagation via sqlcommenter to the database server though it seems those do not really have a lot of things that do anything with it yet.

Since I posted that I learned that https://github.com/DataDog/pg_tracing uses those but is in an alpha state and the commercial https://pganalyze.com/docs/opentelemetry extension seems to do so as well.
